Thinking about this more, you may have damage to the pinion bearing. The rear ends in vehicles are precisely set up. It would be worth wild to have some one inspect it who knows how a rear end is set up.

Rowfast is right, if your pinion nut came off the pinion settings are
all wrong now and continued driving will damage the ring and pinion
gears plus all of the bearings turning a relatively inexpensive repair
into an expensive rear end overhaul. Don't wait, have it checked out
now. HTH
